When you're the only one in the group project who does anything

I might debunk the myth that Matty plays the Nice Sweater riff before Its Mot Living 😈😈😈 Or should we continue living in delusion

Also knowing that Jack Antonoff likes to rely on a select few analog synths for his sounds, I wouldn't be surprised if it came from the same synth

[The 1975 Music Techniques @1975Prod]

Both are just a synth with a tremolo effect to give it rhythm, an extremely common production technique, it just so happens both songs are in the same key making it sound similar. Also of course the same producer will re-use techniques, doesn't mean they sampled it intentionally.

Does anyone have that video of Matty or George (can't rmb) playing About You on a handpan

Jack Antonoff talks about the choice of treatment for the vocals in "Part of the Band", as well as the balance of seriousness and humour, both in the lyrics and instrument performance, that made the song work.

Snippet of the vocal arrangement in "M.O.N.E.Y.".

You can hear their choice to stack vocal doubles and harmonies for the end of sentences to emphasise the rhyming words/syllables. Also some pitched vocal effects.

@ElvisPrecisely_ I have access to it but can't share the full thing as its subscription-based

[The 1975 Music Techniques @1975Prod]

In "Part of The Band", the drums in the choruses are actually played by Matty Healy and Jack Antonoff 😲

@Urban_Gulaman Mix with the masters, its a subscription-based platform

@KoaganWaffles The (surround content only) audio files are the ones with most of the interesting hidden production stuff. However, the standard (dolby atmos) files are also a cool listening experience.

[The 1975 Music Techniques @1975Prod]

Dolby Atmos (surround sound) mixes for 8 of The 1975's songs. Each song has a standard file and a surround only content file (interesting hidden elements are here).

Use headphones to hear the full effect.

Jack Antonoff talks about the vocals in the choruses of "Part of The Band", and reasons for using different voices for the backing vocals.

If you ever wanted "Roadkill" acoustic, check out the surround content file for it.

Sounds like they had a fun time recording Looking For Somebody (To Love)

[The 1975 Music Techniques @1975Prod]

Jack Antonoff briefly comparing Lana Del Rey and The 1975's microphone setups in a Mix with The Masters masterclass. He mentions using an expansive mic list (different mics for different instruments), capturing the feeling of a group of people and characters in the room.

Just a few of the hidden production elements in "Happiness", from the atmos audio stems

@Mattyfrnglomg can't wait to hear Tim's vocals with slapback on every song

Mike Crossey, who produced and engineered their debut album, mentions that a Minimoog synth was used to double Ross's electric bass to add distortion and movement.
